[ up the steps to their door, and then into the little house. it's late enough that he isn't surprised when there aren't any lights on, and he flicks the living room switch because he's not quite familiar enough with the layout of their new home to find his way across it comfortably in the dark. finds the door to his own bedroom, opens it, and is -- somewhat surprised to notice the light on here. ]

--Lelouch?

[ well, this is actually convenient; he'd thought Xion's chocolate would have to wait until tomorrow. ]

[Not long after Ashton falls asleep, Reira finds that she's not going to be able to sleep tonight, not even after the insanity of the auction. So she dresses hastily, simple jeans and a loose blouse with a sweater-jacket overtop, and sets out to gaze at the stars once more. She finds herself at the park, sitting on the cool grass and staring up at the stars, wondering what's got her so worried.

Well, she knows, to a degree. Telling Ashton about Shin went better than expected, but that's left her feeling a bit guilty. Has she betrayed Shin by finding someone so quickly? Is she really ready to be moving on like this when her feelings for Shin are so acute? What will she do if, by some miracle, he appears here? Who will she choose?

She lies back, trying to let the beauty of the night sky soothe her, but her mind is still too active. She wishes she could talk to him one last time, other than those fruitless letters. She needs advice.

Why can't she just be happy?]

(( OOC: One thread will be for when Lacus and Lockon talk in private, and another will be Allelujah returning with coffee from the kitchen.

Could Allelujuah bring someone back with him? Do you have business that brings you to Lockon's front door for other reasons? Consider this an invitation to embarrass him some more~ 

Also, please let me know if the font colors are a problem at all. <3 ))

[Allelujah was seated on a bench close to the library, mismatched eyes looking around while he patiently waited for Setsuna to arrive. He knew the other would be there soon-he wasn't one to be late unless something had happened. Even then he knew he would likely be hearing about it via the communication system.]

Good morning, criminals! Today is the fifty-first day of the third generation and I am pleased to see how many of you participated in the auction yesterday -- it seems like it was a rousing success. Please be aware that, of course, the money will be repossessed today; it was created purely in the interests of entertainment and has no inherent value.

Have fun on your dates, and don't forget to behave yourselves. In every conceivable way!

Please be aware that there may be upcoming activity on behalf of the Engineers. I can no longer locate their lifesigns. I have deemed the level of threat low, but you may want to be on the watch for suspicious activity. Especially in regards to inmate Deire.

[It's early, but Euphie is already up and out of the shelter. She feels drained instead of energized even after her long sleep. The crying took a lot out of her last night after she left the auction.

She's trying very hard not to think about her talk with Suzaku, but he's the only thing she can think about. And questions keep circling in her mind no matter how much she tries to block them out. What if she hadn't died? What if she hadn't been so forward? Was there someone else? Was she not pretty or smart or brave or something enough? Would he change his mind?

She came to the memorial garden—the one she planted when she was there before in the time she didn't remember for the people she didn't remember dying. Instead of a bench, she just sunk down to the grass, near a bed of flowers and she stared through them with a distant, sad look.]

((OOC: You can assume her to be out for awhile if you want to run into her but your character wouldn't be out so early.)
